If my followers have been inspired by the fierce resistance the Twin Cities has put up to ICE, you should make it a point to take a trip here (April through October 😬), enjoy the wonderful things MN has to offer and support our small businesses. It continues to be a really tough time for them.

Victorville in California?? I grew up in Lucerne Valley and I remember loving that cheese! And the giant container of honey. I remember some kind of tinned cookie mix but I have never been able to find a reference to it online.

Irishman detained by Ice appeals to Taoiseach to raise case with Trump amid β€˜torture’ Seamus Culleton from Kilkenny has been in Texas Ice facility for nearly five months despite holding valid work permit

An Irishman living in the U.S. for over 20 years who has been detained by ICE since last September describes the experience as β€œtorture.”

β€œI don’t know how much more I can take,” Seamus Culleton said, calling for Prime Minister MicheΓ‘l Martin to raise his case with Trump during his upcoming visit.

A reminder that the New England Patriots plane is flown by Omni air who contracts with ICE to fly people in chains to Africa and Asia several times per week.

Go Seahawks.

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

We are now in a full-blown constitutional crisis.

That’s why following the arrests of Don Lemon and Georgia Fort, I sent three separate letters demanding the dismissal of all charges, a congressional hearing, and a DOJ Inspector General investigation.

We’ve seen haunting photos of post-abduction abandoned ghost cars on the streets of Minneapolis. Now it’s happening in Maine too:

How to help the resistance to ICE in Minnesota β€” and beyond What Minnesota’s immigrant communities need from you now.

In Minneapolis and many other communities across the country, we're seeing people come together to peacefully protest and support their neighbors. If you're looking to get involved, here are some ways to help:

Screenshot of an X.com post by The Associated Press (@AP) stating that dozens of immigrant families protested for better treatment behind fences at a Texas detention facility, where a 5-year-old Ecuadorian boy and his father were sent after being detained in Minnesota. Below is a video thumbnail showing a crowd gathered outdoors along a fenced walkway; many people wear bright blue or red outerwear, and some hold signs.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

STATEMENT FROM MATT MOBERG, CHAPLAIN OF THE
MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES

IF YOU'RE A CHURCH POSTING
PRAYERS FOR PEACE AND UNITY TODAY

WHILE MY CITY BLEEDS IN THE STREET, MISS ME WITH THAT SOFTNESS YOU ONLY WEAR
WHEN IT COSTS YOU NOTHING.
DON'T DRESS AVOIDANCE UP AS HOLINESS.
DON'T CALL SILENCE "PEACEMAKING."
DON'T LIGHT A CANDLE AND THINK IT SUBSTITUTES FOR SHOWING UP.
TONIGHT AN ICE AGENT TOOK A PHOTO OF ME NEXT TO MY CAR,
LOOKED ME IN THE EYE AND TOLD ME,
"WE'LL BE SEEING YOU SOON."
NOT METAPHOR.
NOT HYPERBOLE.
A THREAT DRESSED UP IN A BADGE AND A PAYCHECK.
PEACE ISN'T WHAT YOU ASK FOR WHEN THE BOOT IS ALREADY ON SOMEONE'S NECK.
PEACE IS WHAT THE POWERFUL ASK FOR WHEN THEY DON'T WANT TO BE INTERRUPTED.
UNITY ISN'T NEUTRAL.
UNITY THAT REFUSES TO NAME VIOLENCE IS JUST LOYALTY TO THE ONES HOLDING THE WEAPONS.
STOP USING SCRIPTURE LIKE CHLOROFORM.
STOP CALLING YOUR FEAR "WISDOM."
STOP PRETENDING JESUS WAS CRUCIFIED BECAUSE HE PREACHED GOOD VIBES AND PERSONAL GROWTH.
YOU DON'T GET TO QUOTE SCRIPTURE
LIKE A LULLABY,
WHILE INJUSTICE STAYS WIDE AWAKE.
YOU DON'T GET TO ASK GOD TO
"HEAL THE LAND"
IF YOU WON'T EVEN LOOK AT THE WOUND.
THERE IS A KIND OF PEACE THAT ONLY EXISTS
BECAUSE IT REFUSES TO TELL THE TRUTH.
THAT PEACE IS A LIE. AND LIES DON'T GROW ANYTHING WORTH SAVING.
THE SCRIPTURES YOU LOVE WEREN'T WRITTEN TO KEEP THINGS CALM.
THEY WERE WRITTEN TO SET THINGS RIGHT.
AND SOMETIMES THE MOST FAITHFUL THING YOU CAN DO IS STOP PRAYING AROUND THE PAIN AND START STANDING INSIDE IT.
IF THAT MAKES YOU UNCOMFORTABLE-GOOD.
GROWTH ALWAYS IS.

NEW: Another declaration you have to read! Alex Pretti was shot near the apartment of a doctor, who saw the shooting occur and rushed to provide emergency aid as he lay dying on the street.

They describe what they saw: "The victim had at least three bullet holes in his back."

NYT analysis confirms Pretti’s gun was gone by the time they shot him to death. 10 shots.

Alex Jeffrey Pretti was an ICU nurse at a VA hospital. His life, through his profession, was dedicated to serving his community and our country.

As so many have now seen on video, his final act before he was killed by federal agents was doing everything in his power to protect his community.

So far in Minnesota

They Shot a 37-year-old mother Renee Good four times, killing her, right after she dropped off her son at school.

Then Ice kidnapped a five year old.

Then ice kidnapped a two year old

Then border patrol murdered Va nurse.

Then Sec Noam went on tv and lied about it

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

24.01.2026 21:41 πŸ‘ 33642 πŸ” 10437 πŸ’¬ 446 πŸ“Œ 422

The newest video shows very clearly that they attacked him for coming to an aid of a woman that the agents pushed, and then executed him while he was immobilized. Everything the government has said, like with Good, has been a complete lie.
